Proposal to Adopt a Dual-Phase Meta-Release Cadence for CAMARA APIs (Proposal to Adopt a Dual-Phase Meta-Release Cadence for CAMARA APIs · Issue #194 · camaraproject/Governance)
The current biannual meta-release cadence (Spring and Fall) treats all API versions equally, regardless of maturity level. This structure creates friction for early-stage APIs and operational fatigue for stable APIs, which require repeated validation and integration across release cycles.
Introduce a dual-phase cadence that distinguishes explicitly between:
Sandbox Phase (0.x versions): APIs can be released iteratively year-round for early testing and validation, independently of meta-releases.
Stable Phase (1.x+ versions): APIs are aligned with official meta-releases (Spring or Fall), with a preference for stable releases in Fall.
Stabilization criteria, versioning rules (mandatory/optional/breaking), and patching procedures would be formalized per lifecycle phase. Commonalities and ICM would follow a structured Spring release to prepare for Fall API publication.
Already approved by the TSC

Device swap
New issues:
Connected line without Device Swap returns 404 — missing test coverage in current ATPs · Issue #73 · camaraproject/DeviceSwap : At present, there are no test cases covering the scenario where a phone number is active and connected to the network but has not experienced any Device Swap within the monitored period (maxAge).Yaml documentation update for the POST retrieve-date to add “In case the phone number has never been installed in a device, or no data is available in the operators records (e.g. database error), API will return a 422 error.“
Test case need to be completed when no swap in the monitor period occurred.
@Fernando Prado Cabrillo will make the PR

API clarification
We discussed last meeting about the requirements for clarification between few APIs: Device Swap, SIM Swap, Number Recycling, Tenure
White paper in preparation with Telefonica & Orange
Will be shared in each API repo in an issue for comments
@Toshi Wakayama mentioned that in the KYC discussion a point was raised to add Subscription Status in this document.
